Pew Report: Cell phones and American adults

Cell phones and American adults – They make just as many calls, but text less often than teens – by Amanda Lenhart, Senior Research Specialist, 9/2/2010

  • “Texting by American adults has increased substantially over the past year, but still does not approach the magnitude of text messages exchanged by adolescents. Some 72% of adult cell phone users send and receive text messages now, up from 65% in September 2009. Fully 87% of teen cell users text. Teens text 50 messages a day on average, five times more than the typical 10 text messages sent and received by adults per day. Still, for most adults, voice calling is their primary use of the phone. They make and receive about 5 calls per day on average.”
